SCORE BOARD

CALGARY, Alta. – Hockey Canada announced on Thursday the 42 players who have been invited to the National
Women’s Under-18 Team selection camp, July 23-30 at Father David Bauer Olympic Arena in Calgary.

All of the athletes selected to take part in camp also participated in the National Women’s Under-18 Team
strength and conditioning/skating camp in May in Calgary. Invitations to the May strength and
conditioning/skating camp were based on evaluations done by Hockey Canada regional scouts during the 2008-09
season. These evaluations included players’ performances with their club teams, along with the 2008 National
Women’s Under-18 Championship in Napanee, Ont.

Hockey Canada will use the July camp to select 22 players for a three-game series against the United
States’ Women’s Under-18 Select Team in Calgary, August 24, 25, and 27. Following the three-game series,
Hockey Canada’s regional scouts, along with the Under-18 coaching staff, will evaluate players at the 2009
National Women’s Under-18 Championship and with their club teams, with the goal of selecting a team for the
2010 IIHF World Women’s Under-18 Championship, March 27 to in the United States.

The roster features seven players who won a silver medal at the 2009 IIHF World Women’s Under-18
Championship in Germany in January (Bestland, Campbell, Daoust, Fratkin, Lacquette, Rattray, Saulnier).

“The upcoming camp is the first step in our journey toward winning a world championship in 2010,” says Dan
Church, head coach of Canada’s National Women’s Under-18 Team. “I’m excited about the opportunity to work
with these great young athletes and I look forward a highly competitive camp in Calgary.”

The 42 players have been split into two teams – Red and White – and will take part in practices and
intersquad games.
